Information on Tiscali

Tiscali is an Italian telecommunications company established in 1998 following the deregulation of the Italian phone system.

Each of its regional companies offered services including broadband internet access and home phone services. It also ran similar web portals for each of its countries offering features like webmail, news, dating networks, instant chat, radio and TV channel streaming.

In 2006, Tiscali announced it would be focusing on the UK and Italy as its key internet markets, and had plans to introduce a mobile network operator service and new IPTV products. However, after selling various arms of its business, it eventually sold its UK subsidiary to Carphone Warehouse in 2009, and the service was rebranded as TalkTalk in 2010.

What happened with the TalkTalk takeover of Tiscali?

When Tiscali fell into massive debt because of its poor performance in Europe, Carphone Warehouse decided to purchase them and integrate their customers into its TalkTalk service. TalkTalk didn’t immediately win over many previous Tiscali users by quickly telling them that their broadband only packages would now be £5 extra or month or they would have to take out a TalkTalk broadband and phone service instead.

Things got increasingly worse when TalkTalk soon got into trouble with Ofcom. Former Tiscali customers who had left TalkTalk, as well as many of TalkTalk’s own customers who left the provider, were still being billed for services they had cancelled. Furthermore, they were being hassled by debt collectors for money that wasn’t owed. Ofcom asked them to refund these customers, stop the debt collection and assist in repairing credit ratings that may have been damaged. TalkTalk didn’t do this in time and Ofcom fined them £2.5 million to be paid in compensation to their customers. They still continued and they were fined a further £3 million.

Nevertheless, integrating Tiscali customers with the TalkTalk brand has done very little to hurt the business. It has seen increases in profits and remains one of the most popular broadband and phone providers in the United Kingdom.
